Where Are You Christmas?

Remember the movie "Elf"? Where Santa's Sleigh couldn't fly anymore because people lack the Christmas spirit? I'm afraid I am contributing to the sleigh's inability to fly because I lack the Christmas spirit. Although there's chill in the air, snow on the ground, neon lights adorned houses glimmering in the dark, glossy and shiny decorations hanging on every store, I still feel that I am lacking something. I feel that Christmas is approaching too fast, too soon and that I am caught not ready.

This lack of Christmas excitement could be attributed to me celebrating the holidays away from my parents this year. Clearly, I've been missing the islands so much lately, and that I'll terribly miss my annoying, noisy cousins and most of all, grandma's cooking. Yesterday, I received a card from grandma. I was in tears because she never had to send me a Christmas card since I was always home during the holidays. This week, grandma sent me a family photo. I guess she's telling me that even if I can't come home this Christmas, the family's still with me.

After all, Christmas is about - family and friends. So, where are you Christmas? Probably buried deep in my heart.

hi sis, I can understand how you feel, I'm feeling the same; and December is already halfway over.. BUT :)hugs to you and a Joyful Christmas to you as well in spite of your not being with your family this year. :) I'm spending my Christmas without my hubby too, because he's going down south to see his family, but at least I will have my other family members to spend Christmas with. :) Merry Christmas, sis!

I might feel that way too if I'm away from my family. If you can, I suggest going home for the holidays, kahit three days lang: 24, 25, and 26. Kahit magastos. I'm sure it'll be worth it, esp since you have so much going on.If you can't, TRY looking for the good things to be happy about. Be with friends. Enjoy life.Happy Holidays to you.

Kayni, dear! I hope you can still enjoy Christmas, though you're away from your family. You know, I think, I also contribute to this non-Christmas spirit, though I try to be bring it to the kids in the family. :)
